Guys (and girls) I have two logitech controllers that work very well on the a500 seperately. I would like to hook up an USB HUB and attach two controllers at the same time. Unfortunately as soon as I attach an USB HUB no controller is being recognized (1 or 2 attached doesn't matter). I would like to play with two controllers in SNES emulator (has a controller 1 and 2)...
Any ideas?
usb hub works eell with my mouse keybosrd and htc desire....
tried other hub?
try a usb hub with external power

Hi updated my tab with the official update.zip found here and now i'm under 3.1, but if i connect my PS3 pads they just charge and i can't get them to work with Snesoid or in the homescreens like i saw in a bunch of videos from Xoom and Transformers.
There's a workaround or the A500 version of 3.1 lacks of this feature (it would be very disappointing)?

i have the same problem
or they use a third part things to make them able to play...
Did you go into Settings _> Language & Input -> Keyboard Settings ->
Configure Input Devices and turn on the PS3 Controller
then back and
Current Input Method and choose the PS3 controller
I know I have to do something similar for the WiiControllerIME

Thanks, but no luck, it doesn't see the controller. I think i'll mail Acer to ask about this.
EDIT: just tried a wireless mouse, it works like a charm. I think they have dropped the controller drivers

i plan to try my madcatz ps3 fightpad tonight, it's wireless with a dongle.
if i remember correctly, 3.1's gamepad support is for usb hid gamepads. the bluetooth ps3 pads may require a bit more to just work.
But i connected it via USB, not with bluetooth. I dont have different pads, just 2 PS3 ones, but i dont understand why on Xoom and Transformers they works and on A500 not.
I could be wrong, but pretty sure using the USB cord with factory ps3 controllers does not make them USB controllers! The USB is ONLY for charging ps3 controllers. They are bluetooth 100% of the time(mine are this way). And just as the way you use them with ps3, they must be synced to work.
My advice, just get a cheap USB controller, maybe even one for windows PC. They are usually around $5. Or find a knockoff ps3 controller found on many of the chinese sites for about the same money...should work till BT PS3 controller is sorted.

You're wrong. On windows they work with USB cable.
They work USB on PS3 too, for example when they are in charge or you enter in recovery mode.
More sixaxis and DS3 work with Xoom and Transformers (in a video the guy says: "you just need to connect and press the PS button").

Out of the box, the PS3 controllers are charge-only over USB. You have to use a third-party driver to use the PS3 controller over USB on a PC. The only console controller drivers built-in to Windows OS are for the XBox controllers (for obvious reasons).
Even on the PS3 system, if you plug the controller in to the USB ports while playing, it will use Bluetooth if it's available. If for some reason Bluetooth is not available then the PS3 will resort to USB as if it was a PS2 controller, but you won't have the full PS3 controller functionality (which is why Sony has it default to Bluetooth whenever possible).
But on Honeycomb 3.1 they probably embeded the driver because on the other 2 it works out of the box.
I have a retrolink USB nes game pad that I was going to try with Nesoid. The buttons work in menus and such, but the direction pad does not
The buttons don't seem to return any particular key press, so it doesn't seem mappable.

Just did some more testing with a few more USB devices I had laying around. My saitek joystick lets me navigate menus and button presses will do things like open programs, it doesn't seem to work in nesoid. I have an old nostromo n50 game pad, the kind you rest your left hand on. It works perfect with nesoid.

i have 3 sixaxis and 2 dual shocks and neither work. i'll try a third party ps3 nyko controller next i guess.

NO. The controller can work with bluetooth or with USB. There aren't charge only over USB.
OTG cable doesnt make a difference either-. Nio micro usb support. For my ps3 controller.
I want to know why on Transformers and Xoom the DS3 works...
no luck on nyko zero ps3 controller either, though its junk anyway.
i wish i had wired xbox 360 controllers but i only have those in wireless

When using a PS3 controller with a PS3 system, it will use bluetooth connectivity whenever possible. If for some reason a controller will not sync with the PS3, you can get it to connect over USB, but that's not the preferred/default method. You can easily see this to be true when you're playing a game while charging your controller via USB. Unplug the USB cable -- did your controller lose connectivity? No, because it was always connected via bluetooth. Otherwise, if it lost USB connectivity it would have to reconnect via bluetooth when you disconnected the cable.
As for the PS3 controller on other devices via USB or bluetooth, to the best of my knowledge every single device requires drivers. This includes Android v3.1 devices -- some of them just have the driver built-in to their ROM. Apparently, Acer did not include that.
I have found many articles how to connect wired Xbox 360 controller, USB Keyboard, USB Mouse and other articles, how to connect via MHL link to TV HDMI Port, but I have a question, is their any chance to connect Nexus 7 to Monitor & USB Xbox 360 Controller together? Or can connect Wireless Xbox Controller?

You can connect the ps3 controller over bluetooth or other bluetooth controllers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779347
MHL to HDMI is not supported.
Me and few other people still asking about OTG capabilities so lets make combined thread for all.
What I figured out for now.
First of all RAZR i does not support OTG itself cause has no power on micro USB port so You need more than regular USB OTG cable.
You need minimum 1A powered USB HUB which means just buy regular 3/4/8 ports USB HUB but with 1A (can be 2A too) AC adapter.
So connection should looks like:
RAZRi -> OTG Cable -> USB Powered HUB -> USB Device
It's simple part. Lest make something harder.
List of devices which I tested:
USB HUB
KitKat should bring more OTG capabilitiesfor us so to prepare for that I bought new USB HUB with built in OTG support.
It the same like THIS one and it's dedicated for Samsung S3, S4 etc.
Hub is made not so bad, it has built in OTG support so no need other adapters and it has power connector.
To use this HUB You need to connect it to DC 5V/1A with 1,35/3,5 to USB cable. I used this cable and regular Moto wall charger. You can also use power bank as power for more mobility.
All my USB devices working fine under this HUB so I can recommend this for RAZRi.
Mouses and Keyboards
RAZRi has no problems to detect and handle with most of mouses and keyboards. No modifications are needed. Just Plug & Play.
USB Drives (Pendrives, HDD's etc)
Unfortunately none of them are working. Phone detects devices in some apps but drives are not detected as drives, just devices and they can't be mounted. I think without any kernel modifications drives can't be mounted. Apps to mount drives can't handle with it too.
USB Audio Devices / DAC
Unfortunately I have only 2 devices like that. Sound Blaster Surround 5.1 USB and Logitech Stereo USB Speakers.
Both tested with USB Audio Tester ROOT.
Creative is correctly detected but there is no sound on every setting.
Logitech USB speakers are detected correctly too but I was able to make it works but only to hear sound from internal microphone. No way to hear music or any sound from phone.
I tested SoundAbout Pro tp force playing from USB host but it failed. I don't know any other app can make it. Also I'm really noob at Linux so I have no idea what to modify in Alsa driver to redirect sound on USB audio device.
USB Game Controllers / PAD
I have only wireless XBOX360 pad so can be hard to make it work but heard somewhere that can be possible. In few days i'll check what can be done with it.
Tested with Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2, working like a charm without any mods. OFC You need to use button mapper or any similar app cause after connect pad is working like mouse but after remap we have fully working cordless pad.
USB Network Adapters
At this moment I tested only cheap RJ45 to USB adapter but it doesn't work. Strange cause activity led on adapter is blinking sometimes and it stops when phone is off but nothing except this.
Any other news, suggestions, tests of working devices are welcome.
Network adapters updated.
Wysłane z Motorola RAZR i.
You need to mod the kernel to add usbstorage like the samsung S3 and the framework apk i think, maybe some hardcore developers can help on it.
xbox 360 controller is detected as device but is not working something is missing cuz i added the keylayout for the device and is not working. but you can remap any keyboard keylayout to work as joystic XD.
Updated GamePads section.
USB HUB with OTG added.
Very nice, I tryed, and it works like a charm. I could use a keyboard and mouse runing Ubuntu 15.10 on CHROOT
Here's my simple little setup. Consists of two Logitech F310 controllers, Seagate 2TB USB 3.0 had drive, Pluggable Peripherals 7 port hub and of course the official controller. Also has a keyboard and mouse dongle plugged in. I'd love to see others. Post em! (BTW, forgive the white extension cable, it is actually connected to the hard drive as I am in the process of backing it up)

6months old photo, but still using the min combo BT keyboard, charge the AAA batteries on the TV usb with the USB hub under it.
And I keep the mojo on it's side.. i think it looks cool and lets the heat rise.
I'll take more pics when my other controller comes

Cool man. I have been wanting one of those mini BT keyboards!

I wont recommend the mini nor the micro (button keys instead of real keys unless it a remote maybe), it's okay for quick surfing/emailing but not for chat etc.. great for my travel bag.. but I would use it more if was more fullsize... I need to replace my old wired keyboard mouse.. so i'll be looking for a fullsize BT combo.
From top left:
AverMedia Capture HD II C285, MOJO 4way USB hub, 32GB roms, cheap twin PS clone controllers on one USB, Behringer headset for late night gaming sessions.
My old USB keyboard and MS laser mouse, 7inch Hyundai T7s, Travel clip with my tablet mod.
MOJO CTRLR, retail CTRLR, Shintaro Mini Bluetooth Keyboard.
And under the TV I have a 4way USB hub powered by the TV's USB port.
Attached are two USB AA/AAA battery chargers and a retractable USB cable for the mini combo keyboard to charge.
Not that much really
So I think I've read every thread in the Nexus Player forum, and I'm just going to spit it back and have you all make sure I understand what I'm getting into...
Got my Nexus Player and it updated to 21V, and it sounds like I can still root with ChainFire, is that correct?
Then to start expanding functionality I need an OTG cable and USB Hub. Any recommendations on a 3-4 port hub?
Then, my aim is for wired networking. I understand it isn't totally necessary but I have my Comcast gateway right next to it. So I might as well just get this adapter right?
So at this point I would be rooted, networked, and ready to add on storage. I'm going to go the route of a 1 or 2TB (non-powered) hard drive. Will I have to setup bunches of 128gb partitions, or will LolliRock, Unleashed Kernel, StickMount, (and there was one more app that handled OGG folder placement for large games) handle storage without those mini partitions?
Then, if possible I want to get a 360 controller or wiimote working. If not it sounds like the Red Samurai Bluetooth controller or the Asus controller is the way to go...
Also, will a Logitech K400 work via USB adapter?
How am I doing so far?
Mine was updated and I still was able to root it with SuperSU. I would recommend you this as a 4 USB hub (which is powered so all right for running you're hard drives): amazon.ca/Plugable-Port-Charger-Power-Adapter/dp/B005P2BY5I/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1419636337&sr=8-25&keywords=plugab. Bought mine yesterday and I'm gonna try to use my xbox 360 controller with it so I will give you back news when I got mine. And normally a mouse and keyboard would work just fine as seen in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=H0xHvjuDk68
Thanks, I'd appreciate any updates!
For the USB hub, do I need a 2.0 or will a 3.0 work too?
I have noname 2.0/3.0 hub and works fine...it should be compatibile so each 3.0hub should work with 2.0 ports
The USB port on the Nexus Player is 2.0 so it's pretty useless to have a 3.0 hub. Nonetheless, I finally received my USB OTG cable and USB hub and the Xbox 360 controller works without problem. I tried it on a N64 emulator. Also no problem with a mouse and a keyboard connected by an USB dongle. And install stickmount in order to be able to mount any HD or USB key.
I got my OTG cable, and 2.0 hub (4 port), working with k400 keyboard, and the Red Samurai v2 (gamestop) controller on the way. Nes emulator working well with keyboard, I'm just trying to figure out if I want to stay on stock or use LolliRock, I've been back and forth twice now, and will probably flash the newest LolliRock tonight.
Stickmount (and other apps) for some reason won't install via Web based Google play, so that's frustrating...
